In 51 career games with 34 starts, Goedert has produced 166 receptions, 1,894 yards (11.4 avg.), and 14 touchdowns. Here is a breakdown of his numbers during his Eagles' career:
2021 Statistics: This season, Goedert leads all NFL tight ends in receiving first-down percentage (75.9%). He also ranks third among his position leaguewide in receiving average (14.8 yards per catch), fourth in yards after the catch per reception (6.8), and eighth in receiving yards (429).
Over the last four games (since Week 7), Goedert ranks second among NFL tight ends in yards per reception (15.2). He also owns the third-most receiving yards (213) and receiving first downs (10) among tight ends in that span.
The feeling is, from both Goedert and the Eagles, that the best is yet to come for the 6-foot-5, 256-pounder.
"I've grown into the role and into the league. I was blessed to have this body type. I was blessed to be big, fast, and strong. There's a lot of hard work that goes into it and when it comes to gameday I want to catch the ball and run over the safety. Those guys aren't my friends when it's gameday. I want to make them pay because that's the nature of the game. There is a lot that goes into it – playing with leverage, knowing the defense, knowing where Jalen (Hurts) needs me to be. Tight end is a unique position. We have to be half a step into the world of an offensive lineman and half a step into a wide receiver. It's the best of both worlds. We can impact the running game with our blocking and we can impact the passing game by catching the football and scoring touchdowns, and we all love scoring touchdowns."
